This is a question Terrible Parenting

My parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.

On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

This is a QotW answer almost back on topic
my son was expelled from school at 14 and in the three years since has done very little. He recently did some scheme type thing where they get a load of excluded kids and make them run a project.
After a day one of the other kids came up to him and had a go at him for using "all those big words that we don't understand"
My son said "I am sorry, I don't mean to, it is just my vocabulary". The other kid said "there you go again, what does that mean?"
so..to bring it back on topic
i am a bad parent for teaching my son long words that make him stand out.

After reading all of these stories I feel I have to share my tale.

I once asked my mummy for a piggy-back before bed and she wouldn't. I cried.

She's 5 foot tall and 77 and I'm 6 foot and 47.

Bitch.

(Now get the fuck back on topic or there'll be trouble...)

This is a QotW answer Vocabulary
I highly recommend doing the Times crossword to improve vocabulary. It did wonders for mine.

My parents are no good with crosswords. I think that's terrible.

I wasnt aware I was piss taking - I'm sorry you find my extended vocabulary threatening.
It was never my intention to offend, maybe you'd prefer me to assume a more monosyllabic mantle to make you feel more at home?

Every day's a school day on B3ta.

I'm glad though. It seems worthwhile now, knowing that being on the arse-end of Cap'n Haddocks piss-taking has enriched someone's vocabulary.

Now I feel (slightly) less of a twat-bat.

(What was the subject of this QOTW again?)
